Hi everyone,
I just bought a new LG LS50-6 laptop and want to
set it up as dual boot winxp/redhat. I installed Partition Magic 8 on the
hd and thought that resizing the partition would be easy, so that i can install
RH. However, PM wouldn't allow the resizing or creating of any partitions
on the primary C:\ NTFS partition. As i understand, all the install/rescue
files, including WinXP installation is on some sort of "invisible" partition,
which doesn't show in the explorer and can only be accessed to re-install
WinXP. Partition magic doesn't show/recognize it either. When
attempting to install RH and error msg appears : "Boot table on hda
unreadable". The option i am given is to delete data on existing
partition, reformat and proceed with installation, which is not what i would
like to do. When using the supplied rescue disk, options are pretty much
the same. I'd rather not do this, if there is another solution. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vlad
